The site is moderately sloping falling <br />fourteen feet in the area suggested for the building location. The site is currently wooded with a mix of <br />predominantly hardwoods with some pine along Homestead Road.. For the purposes of this proposal, it is <br />assumed that all major utilities required for the construction and operation of this facility are available <br />either from the entry drive or on Homestead Road <br />Scope of Services <br />The services delivered for this project will include architecture, civil engineering, structural design, <br />mechanical, electrical and plumbing design Augmenting these disciplines will be cost consulting, <br />acoustical design, interior design and consulting for sustainable design directed at LEEDS certification <br />This proposal includes full commissioning for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems It is <br />exclusive of a full LEEDS certification <br />The architect will coordinate his services with the civil engineer in obtaining the required use permits from <br />the jurisdiction of Chapel Hill and the soil and erosion control permits from the jurisdiction of Orange <br />County It is understood as of this writing that the parcel is currently encumbered by a Special Use Permit <br />achieved for the existing Southern Human Services Building.
